Tried almost all custom rom`s on this thread but in the end the phone performs best on stock firmware imo
Just using omega
just using newest wanamlite rom
Omega and Perseus kernel. Better than stock, undervolted and overclocked. Getting better battery life ans 15.2k on Antutu benchmark

From my experiences I remember the meaning of the "CUSTOM" rom.
It's MUCH BETTER THAN stock ! Come one dude "Cyanogen", "MIUI" etc.
I felt the difference before and after on many phones.
With N2 everything has changed a bit.
I agree the stock rom are better now than most of custom roms here.
Example: Im using Stock Wanam Deodex Rom (almost out touch rom.) What I did I just maximum deblaoted it.
And this stock rom working MUCH more better and faster and smoother than many custom roms here. Example OMEGA. (No offence ! this is purely my opinion)
Why it happening ?
So many developers love to add 3 years old build prop lines. Too old tweaks also are here. Come one why using stuff from HTC ? WTF was that "Enabled GPU UI rendering"???? JellyB has it from birth that !
And Im fine with that ! But NO DIFFERENCE BRO! not smoother, not faster. Ok maybe benchs is better ? But no it's lower ! Windows animation lags more than on stock rom.
And is nothing to explain about. People will get pissed.(when you tell the truth) If you just got your first android device and you have no experiences (NO CLUE) with that you will say it's faster ! But when you coming from G1 and you got 2-N2. 2-GS3 than you will see the difference between before and after and is nothing to talk about it.
Samsung did sick job with the N2 JB firmware. It's been optimized up to normal and we filling that from ANY corner !
Stop implanting stupid lines like "scrolling catch disabled" if you say yourself that it does not work.
Only best regards
On wanam stock deodexed lj7

Using stock ROM! No plans of flashing custom ROM as stock is perfect
on stock...
way too perfect...no need for custom except debloating ofc
Only Android device I've ever owned which I've not rooted, and currently feel no compelling need to do so.

Some of the apps come with the ROM and cannot be removed (Like Flipboard, the various hub apps etc.). If they're not useful to you, it's bloatware. He has removed them by rooting the phone and deleting them.

Samsung has done a good job on the Note II
Stock Rom is working great,
One only need to root and debloate it
After that you can ' spec' it to ur taste

You can manually delete them, but yeah,it's easier to use titanium backup or something similar so the data gets cleared.

I am using HyperNote 0.3 which offers already a complete debloated ROM. Its very fast and battery efficient. A lot quicker than stock.
Hard to understand how somebody would not root the Note II. For any design changes or debloating you need root....and its so easily done.

This guy is good. His rom got the same "smoothest" as Check Rom. (I also liked his stock rom with out any additional tweaks from Aroma installer)
But I don't like first wake up seconds. (I felt stronger deep sleep than on stock, maybe Im crazy. But any way I will try again his new LJ7)

Stock works great, it's fast and responsive, unless you have to have root, I wouldn't bother at the moment.
I used ARHD on my HTC One X because it was better than stock but JB on the Note 2 is super!

yup me too. i flash arhd 1.1 on my note 2 and it feels a lil laggy. It even make my 3g connection crawl like a tortoise. I was quite dumbfounded cos i tot it suppose to perform better. But wen i flash it back to stock. it feels so much better n my 3g connection was fast as per normal. so i shall stick to stock while the roms gets improved in due time
Ive been using the Perseus alpha24 kernal for a few days now, smooth fast and noticablely better battery life, havent tried a ROM yet, like you, waiting till they are a bit better.
Yes, I agree.
For now, stock is the best for stability and performance.
It needs time to make custom rom better than stock
imho
Stock forever.
I think its a very subjective topic and its only a matter of time before the mods close this thread (maybe)...
I personally like stock on Note 2. Nothing more needed
Unless it AR HD! Well thats stock too

I don't see why they will close this thread I'm just asking for your experiences with custom roms and I'm sharing mine, I'm not wasking what is the best roms amongst all the roms available on the forum but just if at the moment the stock is better than any other custom roms that's all.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Yeah, I have not used custom roms atm, I just disable what I don't want and that's it. But I wish there was a vanilla Jellybean to try out. Don't need overclocking, but I want undervolted rom to squeeze more juice.
It's nice to know that some of you love the stock experience out of the box. I'm getting my Galaxy Note 2 in November. Obviously many of us like to tinker, so I'm already pleased that the list of custom roms is growing for the Galaxy Note 2.
im flash addict and always was using custom rom but for note 2 stock+root=the best
To me Note 2 needs no rooting and flashing, works great the way it is and I like it that way.

Hi all,
This is the first time I have been fully satisfied with the trifacta of a stock rom on a device. Speed/performance, stability and battery life.
There are a few nuances thou that makes me want to root and/or install a custom rom.
What are your thoughts on just rooting and/or custom roms?
Things that are an absolute must:
Speed/performance of the Rom (stock is acceptable)
Stability of the Rom (stock is acceptable)
The most important thing for me is battery life and that should be better if not the same.
The rest is gravy.
I look forward to your opinions.

Just remember that unless the ROM is based on the Stock Samsung code, the S-Pen won't work. That is really the only gotcha there.
For now all the customs roms are not so great you'll get the best battery life with the stock rom so stick with it at least for now.

Have to agree with you there. Really don't see any need for a custom rom when the stock rom is this good. I will wait for the custom rom scene to mature a bit before jumping on that bandwagon!
Thanks for the feedback!
For all of you who are on stock, have you rooted?
I have been using android since the first HTC google phone and have had over 30 phones so far.
I love rooting as it makes some apps of convenience work better with more features, but I feel like once rooted the phone just gets slow over time. Now, I am not sure if this is just because previous versions of android have been like that or it was infact because apps had system level access.
I am just so happy with the stock samsung on the gn2 at the moment that I am sacrificing the benefits of root in order not to loose this smooth, perfect OS with amazing batfery life that I have experienced for the first time ever on an android phone.
Don't get me wrong the custom rom world has been amazing but it always felt like I am upgrading and testing my phone as opposed to using it. While that has been fun in an addictive way, there have been consequences.
For the first time I am using my phone. My girlfriend even made a coment the other day, she said "Wow! This is the longest I have seen you go without resetting your phone". By resetting she meant the wipe, flash and restore process

Just curious to hear from those of you who tried cleanrom or one of the other debloated roms? I'm still hedging on rooting now or waiting a little longer. Has anyone tried before and after benchmarks to see if theres a real difference between just disabling the apps in stock vs flashing one of the roms? I'm also curious to know if the lag when waking the screen got any better.
thank you
Those ROMs have a bit more done than just debloating.

Was i supposed to type the entire release notes out? My question remains the same.
You might as well go ahead and root now so you can see for yourself. To me, my phone was just as snappy running the stock rom. But I still want all the features we get from our dev's. They are doing some awesome things right now.

Alright so we got our jelly bean update and so far all the stock based custom ROMs are stable from the most part, mod have been added for speed tweaks and battery life. So far so good. Now what? Lol what do we do in the meantime? Just find mods and see what people would like and see if they can be implemented in ROMs? I've flashed almost everything and TW on every ROM is stable if the source was official JB for t999. The AOSP ROMs are stable for the most part with very minor things not working. Kernels have squeezed as much performance from the board of this phone as much as possible (don't expect any kernel to bring you 7000+ on quadrant). So what now? The o my progress that's happening mostly is getting aosp 4.2 on this by tw is descent in my opinion. What will you guys be doing in the meantime? Look at other threads and find mods?

It's refreshing not having to keep up with the grind every now and then. Especially with the holidays upon us, time is scarce and free time is better spent doing other things than dealing with crackflashing habits.
Exactly. What now is what annoys me about xda. It makes it seem like people don't actually enjoy their phone. I actually found xda by mistake back she. I had a vibrant. I actually left for a while because I was pretty much the same way. Flashing and reseting y phone pretty much daily trying out new ROMs. When things got stable I asked the same question as op. Realized I never actually used my phone. I don't root very much but come here for advice and for new news. I've tried flashing roms but I actually use my phone and have a life to live. Be happy things are stable. That's my advice. Its an addiction.

Lol actually, i do use my phone. Back when we had ICS, there was jelly bean but i kept going back and fourth between jelly bean AOSP and stock TW ics. found that TW was solid but had a few issues with Bluetooth which i used with my Bluetooth headsets. So I was on AOSP and back and fourth. I have been on JB TW since it dropped and haven't flashed since. lol so i guess im just adjusting to not flashing weekly. But even when flashing, i would use my phone pretty often. for now, im going to just stay here, add the mods that i want, and look for the ones i need (skip track with volume rocker w/ screen off) and then i will delete the app from my phone and come here every 2 weeks.
Now we wait for 4.1.2 so we can get multi view like the note 2.
Other than that, most of us will have moved on to SGS4 by the time the S3 gets 4.2.

I thankfully got this out of my system back with my Vibrant. At some point I just realized that I was doing... Nothing with my phone. I'd switch out ROMs and the like, but ultimately.. I just went back to stock with a custom kernel and a few tweaks for speed and performance. But mostly had it set to spiffy fast and ultra usable.
I've done the same with my GS3. I didn't care much for the ROMs I have seen out there, so went back to stock. Now I have Jelly Bean on here, with a custom kernel and rooted. Got it running outrageously smooth and fast. What more do I need? My phone is as good as it is going to get until 4.2 and hopefully whatever comes after that.
So I use it. I show it off to people. I achieve great computing and processing needs when out and about. I like my phone. I don't need anything more out of it than what I got.
I just hang out at XDA for if anything new ( feature, app, etc. ) comes out that seems neat, if an error crops up, or quick fixes.

I am on JB touchwiz and i am running the 4.2 without any issues at all. You need to make sure you uncheck the location tagging option when installing it. The photosphere feature is fantastic and have all my Crapple user friends drooling over it, also the new gallery is better as well. I have the new 4.2 keyboard but prefer swype and the new google calendar. LOL.
To clarify, I am running both, stock camera and 4.2 camera with no problem.
Just got my GS3(ATT) and im loving it.
ex Galaxy Note user so im familiar with rooting/odin/kernels/recoveries etc..
i just need some guidance in a completely stock rom that hes everything working.
and a kernel that everyone is trying
this isnt a "which rom is better?" thread or "what do you recomend?"
i know i have to try things out fist but i wanna keep it TouchWizy for a bit for now
Ive downloaded Ultimatum 2.0 so far
oh and i got stock ICS so i wanna get some Jelly goodies
Thnx in advance if mods feel the need to take it down because it starts a flamewar about rom pleasedo so.
Thnx once again

I dispute the existence of such a thing, but suit yourself...
If I were you, and I'm reading correctly that your phone is currently running ICS, I'd start with stock Jelly Bean; you can grab a rooted stock image here. Since I'm not running a TW ROM presently, I can't really suggest what might be good beyond that; I'll take the opportunity, though, to point out the KT747 kernel (which I'm currently running) available in several different flavours for AOSP and TW alike; configured properly, it's consistently been a performance and battery life boost for me.
Realistically, it's probably best to poke around for yourself and see what works best for you; there's a lot of development effort going towards this device right now, and there's something for everyone.

ill most likely start out with stock JB TW and add the kernel for some performance then start doing some more heavy duty stuff

My fiancé hates the flashing lol
I had a bad Note where calls/text wouldn't come in.. It might of been the ROMs too, not sure. But I had promised her I wouldn't flash anymore..... I just couldn't stay away haha
Any other kernels or tweaks you guys can

I know with the Note, the AOSP/AOKP roms had the whole Bravia/Beats/Thunderbolt tweaks (not that I need them or anything) just wondering if there is any like them

Yeah, I know what you mean, haha. I used to flash like 5-10 roms a day; I just couldn't find the right one! But ultimately stuck with Task's AOKP.
There's this other rom that is very similar to a Galaxy Note II experience, if you're looking for one that is. It also has the Bravia Engine and DSP Manager (kinda like Beats). Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1951115
